Chinese new year is just around the corner on February 3rd. Hurray! It will be the year of the rabbit. Go Momiji!
My parents suddenly wanted to do something for it, so we went to a Chinese New Year banquet held by the OCA. What that actually stands for, I'm not quite sure. I now know it's a national Asian Pacific American organization that has approximately 90+ chapters around the country. There just happens to be one in Georgia.
Dinner was ok. We had shark fin soup (I feel like that was the highlight), and 9 other courses. There was some disappointment over having fried fish instead of steamed fish, and something very reminiscent to popcorn shrimp at KFC was served. It was just slightly better, and served with broccoli.
I guess nothing's really going to be able to compare to the Christmas/New Year's feast we had when we went to Hong Kong a couple years ago. Now that was some gooooood food.
It was a fun time. I got to see the lion dance for the first time! Oh man, it was so neat! That made up for the terrible audio in the restaurant.
There's another Chinese New Year festival thing next weekend that I kind of want to go to. I may have made a new friend, maybe. Hard to say. I felt that age old shyness creeping up during dinner. If I do go, then I'll definitely have to bring my camera.
On another note, there isn't much exciting going on. I did finally get to hang out with my friends in Clemson last, last weekend. Hehe. Good times. I really miss hanging out with them.
LBP2 is awesome. Ruka is cute. My fridge is currently stocked with an insane amount of food.
